6 Things To Do After Cheating on the HCG Diet Phase 2

Cheating on HCG diet isn’t the end of everything. If you mess up and eat something you shouldn’t, don’t give up. It’s not too late to get back on the protocol. Stop cheating as soon as you catch it. Don’t let it spiral out of control.

Your next move after cheating is very critical to ensure that you will not stall.

Here are 6 things that you should do after you cheat during your phase 2.

Drink plenty of water

What you have gained during your cheat day was actually water weight and not fats. Drink plenty of water to flush out those excess salts from your body. Stay hydrated so you don’t retain any more water.

Exercise slightly more than usual

Do some light exercise for 2-3 days to help you offset your calorie gained from cheating. Instead of doing the usual 15-30 minute walk, you can increase it to 40-60 minutes. After few days you can resume your regular routine.

Stay positive

Cheating during phase 2 will not make you a total failure. Stay positive and don’t take it as a sign that you can’t do it.

Don’t panic

Cheating is not the end as long as you will get back. So don’t panic. This is how the HCG hormone works. Its ability to metabolize fats is amazing. However, the hormone won’t do its work if you cheat multiple times during your hcg diet. Remember, the only way to lose a maximum amount of weight is never to cheat.

Check your weight gain and look for plateaus

Check your weight for any gain. Some of your weight gains are mostly due to a higher salt intake. Track these changes and log in your hcg diet journal. Again, if your weight has STALLED, try an Apple day or Steak day.

Don’t over-correct

Trying everything all at once to get the cheat weight off is not the best strategy. Post-cheat blunder includes:

Doubling up on your dose

You will just run out of injections if you will double your hcg dosage. Yet the effect will still be the same.

Skipping meals

Skipping meals can slow down your metabolism and you won’t likely to lose weight the next day.

Doing an Apple day right away

Actually, Apple days aren’t for cheats. They are for stalls. DO NOT do an Apple day unless your weight has stalled for 4 days. Most, important do not double up on stall breaking remedies like doing an Apple day and Steak day at the same time. Doing two stall breakers can send your body off into a shock. Your body just needs to get back into your usual hcg diet routine after cheating. Eventually, your weight gain will come off. And if it doesn’t and your weight has stayed the same for 4 days that’s the time you will do a stall breaker.

Eating Organic Food on HCG Diet

Dr. Simeons original protocol does not require HCG dieters to eat all organic foods. But thanks to Kevin Trudeau’s book “The Weight Loss Cure”, organic food has become a popular addition to the diet. He expanded the protocol to account issues about modern toxins that were not present during the time Dr. Simeons conducted his research. According to him, “processed foods are designed by manufacturers to make you fat”.

Why is organic food better on the HCG Diet?

Eating organic while on Phase 2 of HCG diet will prevent you from:
Cancer-causing pesticides
Chemical additives and fertilizers
Growth hormones
Animal antibiotics and medications
GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organism)
Health risk from Mad Cow Disease
Eating organic food on Phase 2 of your diet can detoxify your body. It allows your body to flush out toxins from eating unhealthy processed foods. This, in turn, assists your body in the reduction of weight and fat.
Organic foods are fresher and don’t contain preservatives.
Achieve optimum result when combined with HCG.
Organic food reduces your health risk from the harmful cancer-causing pesticides, chemicals and fertilizers.
Organic foods do not contain chemicals that can interact with the ability of HCG hormone to target the abnormal fats.
You will get 50% more vitamins, minerals and other nutrients when you eat organic foods.
Going organic is actually giving your body a break from all those additives. This prevents the toxins from building up while your body adjusts to the changes. Thus improving the metabolic process and a greater chance of success.

You can be successful in the hcg protocol without going totally organic. But eating organic food may be beneficial as well. If you can prioritize eating an antibiotic-free and hormone-free meat and organic fruits and vegetables then do so. It can be more expensive but it is your health that is more important. Why take the risk if you can avoid it? If you can’t afford to buy organic meat, try buying some organic fruits and vegetables instead. It’s a good start and a good way to improve your diet experience too.

Overcoming a Plateau on The HCG Diet

Weight loss during your diet with HCG is pretty fast… not until you hit a plateau or stall. Plateaus do occur at times on the HCG Diet, even when the diet is being followed perfectly, according to Dr. Simeons manuscript.

A lot of dieter experiences fast fat loss during their first few weeks. Suddenly they hit a speed bump along the way even when they follow the protocol correctly. Yes, it’s kind of frustrating but eventually, it will break on its own. It usually lasts about 4-6 days or sometimes shorter. Most hcg dieters hit their plateaus in the second half of their hcg diet.

However, you shouldn’t worry about plateaus because there are many ways to break them. And you shouldn’t wait out either for we will provide you with options on how you are going to break plateaus. That includes the popular Apple day and Mini Steak day.

Plateau breaker #1- Try an Apple day on the 4^th day of your plateau

Reduce your fluid intake by 2-3 quarts a day.
Eat 6 apples throughout the day.

The purpose of this is to eliminate excess water.

Plateau breaker #2- Try a Mini Steak day

Drink only water the entire day and then during dinner, eat about 3.5 oz of steak along with a tomato or an apple.

Steak day helps you break a plateau by reducing water retention. Both the Steak day and Apple day should only be used occasionally.

Plateau breaker #3- Try eating organic foods

Eating processed foods can interfere with HCG hormone and can possibly contribute to plateaus. Processed foods can contain a high amount of sodium that results in water retention. So, make sure that you only purchase organic foods. Stay away from pre-packaged or processed foods.

Plateau breaker #4- Avoid artificial sweeteners

Avoid carbonated beverages because they can definitely interfere with HCG hormone and can contribute to your plateau. The only allowable sweetener in HCG diet is Stevia.

Plateau breaker #5- Try not to eat too many calories

Going 30-40 calories above the required calorie intake per day can cause problems with the ability of HCG to target the abnormal fats. Make sure you count your calories. Use a calorie counter app to exactly count your calorie each meal.

Plateau breaker #6- Try apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar can be very effective at breaking plateaus by improving fat metabolism. It is also a great seasoning for your meal and is recommended even if you are not on a plateau.

Plateau breaker #7- Use mild laxative if you are constipated

One reason why you may experience a plateau is due to constipation. Use a mild laxative. Be sure you are also drinking lots and lots of water.

Plateau breaker #8- Do some light exercise

Start with 20-30 minutes of walking each day. But do not exercise more than 30 minutes. Do not exert yourself too. Doing some light exercise like walking can help reduce fluid retention and improve circulation.

Plateau breaker #9- Get enough sleep

Make sure you are getting enough sleep. Your scale may reflect a little to no weight loss if you will stay up late at night and wakes up early the next day.

Plateau breaker #10- Check the protocol

Make sure that you are following the protocol correctly. A small change in the protocol can affect the capabilities of HCG hormone to target the abnormal fats. Double check the hcg protocol and make sure you aren’t skipping out on any requirements.

Approved HCG Diet Seasoning and Spices

“Spice up your life” was coined for a reason. Spices improve the taste of foods and are totally rich in nutrients. So, spice up your life in HCG diet. But be careful because some spices can sabotage your results.

This is where many dieters fail to be consistent. Yes, it is important to eat the right foods. I am talking about the approved HCG foods. But you also need to ensure that you use the right ingredients in cooking. Because a little sprinkle of the wrong spices can cause a stall in your diet. There are many spices out there and many of them are HCG approved. But there are also many that are not safe. They contain hidden ingredients like oils, starches and sugar that stall your weight loss. Some real examples are:

Garlic powder with modified corn starch can cause plateaus for 3 days.
Taco seasoning can make you gain weight at least .4 pound each day you use them.

Here are approved HCG seasoning and spices:

Allspice
Basil

Making it Through the First Week P2 of HCG Diet

The first week of your very low calorie diet with HCG can be the most difficult days you might experience. It’s not going to be easy. There will be ups and downs, hunger, mental battles and sleep loss. Here are top ten tips to help you make it through your first week with P2 of HCG diet.

Be prepared with the following:

Your meal plan for the first week
Protein choices for the first week (weigh each at 100 grams and keep them frozen)
Kitchen scale
Bathroom scale
Herbs and spices

Go crazy over vegetables to help you deal with your hunger pains. You can have them in unlimited quantities because of their low calorie count. Just be careful that you will not exceed your daily calorie intake. Don’t eat the vegetables during snack. You should eat vegetables only at mealtime.
Drink lots of water. Water will not only help stave your hunger off and make you feel fuller at each meal. It will also help you deal with your upset stomach and flush out toxins from your body.
Avoid exercise at all cost. Exercise can affect your health negatively while on 500 calorie diet by throwing your metabolism off. The VLCD does not allow any forms of major physical activities.
Be creative in coming up with different recipes. You are doing this hcg diet for yourself so you can adjust the recipe however you see fit. But see to it that you don’t deviate from the hcg protocol.
Take supplements like Magnesium and vitamin B complex if you are having a problem with your sleep and cravings.
Spread your meals during the day. You can actually split your carb choice and your fruits away from your lunch and dinner.

Breakfast: Coffee
Snack: Melba toast
Lunch: Protein choice, vegetable choice
Snack: fruits
Dinner: Protein choice, vegetable choice
Evening Snack: Apple and herbal tea.

Have something visual to help you like sticky note each day.
Go to bed early. This helps stop your cravings and snacking.
Get some fresh air to help you feel refreshed and clear-headed.
